Procedure: DL-Glutamic acid 14.7 g was suspended in 75 ml water and 45 ml acetone and then added 8 g of sodium hydroxide. To the solution of the sodium glutamate was added lauric acid-sulfuric acid mixed anhydride with 10 N sodium hydroxide at pH 12 - 13 on the ice bath with stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 1 hour, then treated by the same manner as in Example 1. N-Lauroyl-DL-glutamic acid was obtained 19.7 g (59.7 %) M.P. 116° - 119°C. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 1 hour treated by the same manner as in Example 1
